For GameStop<\/a>, it\u2019s a blood bath right out of Mortal Kombat. The Grapevine-based video game chain is expected to shed 470 locations nationwide, including 10 in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and dozens more around Texas.<\/p>\n

The closures were revealed in the company’s newest filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that said it would close “a significant number of additional stores in fiscal 2025” ending on January 31. In its last fiscal year, GameStop shuttered 590 locations.<\/p>\n

In DFW, closures include stores in Dallas, Fort Worth, Allen, Arlington, Irving, Mesquite, Mansfield, and more. <\/p>\n

In addition to braving the overall \u201cretail apocalypse,\u201d the retailer faces the same conditions that largely decimated CD and video stores. Video games are now available for digital download in seconds and no longer require a trip to a physical store.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a part of our profitability initiative, we are reducing our global store base, which includes closing stores that are not meeting performance standards or stores at the end of their lease terms with the intent of transferring sales to other nearby locations,\u201d the company wrote in its annual report<\/a>. \u201cIf we are unsuccessful in marketing to customers of the stores that we plan to close or in transferring sales to nearby stores, our results of operations could be negatively impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The current digital squeeze isn\u2019t the first time GameStop has been thrown for a loop by contemporary internet culture. In 2021, the retailer famously became a meme stock, buoyed by users of Reddit’s r\/wallstreetbets<\/a>. The skyrocketing increase in its stock price, followed by short selling, caused major financial consequences for hedge funds and other investors.<\/p>\n

Since then, the stock price has been more stable but has decreased approximately 21 percent over the last year, and closures have been widespread. After CEO Ryan Cohen bought 500,000 shares in the company on January 21, the price has slightly rebounded.<\/p>\n

GameStop has not issued a formal list of the closures, and a request for more information was not returned at press time. But Ohio\u2019s WKYC Studios put together a list<\/a> of all the U.S. stores that are on the chopping block, verified through GameStop\u2019s online store locator.
